    Sure don't, but I have some new tools coming later in the week to find out.

    Money Pit #2 Won't run.

    I finally got it pulled, it took about 2 1/2 evenings after work. That is fun doing it by yourself with nothing but the light from your phone and a 38hp kubota at 9:30. It was about all that tractor could do to pick out that cast iron behemoth. The radiator had white crust buildup starting...

    Went out and tested the gauge on my dads idi, tested right into the 300s. Went back over to this one and tested it, no more than 75. I added a little oil to a cylinder and tested it. Jumped up to 160 and started dropping the more tries I went. Ouch. Oh well.

    Any advice or ideas before I take a head off of it?

    I finally acquired a compression gauge, only a $50-60 kit from amazon, but it'll do for as often as I am gonna use it. I didn't check the 3 cylinders under the injector lines. Sadly she is only throwing 50-70 psi on the 4 out of 5 cylinders and the 5th showing 0. Yikes. Stuck rings or lack...

    I'll be sure and look for that tomorrow. Thanks. It did that with the old and new pumps. No leaks that I could see on the feed or return lines anywhere. I am apparently missing something stupid though.

    I'm running the return line off of the pump into a water bottle to make sure that is not a problem. I reckon I'm going to dig deeper into the timing then, just to make sure. Will also pick up a compression gauge, should have done that already. Does anyone know the thread size for the inlet on...

    Ok, I went out and took # 7 (3 on drivers side) off and used my old #1 line and hooked an injector up to it. It did spray an ok pattern. It wouldn't hit on ether earlier today but I'll try later after I top the batteries back off.

    Sadly I've already tried, not even a sputter.

    No I did not remove it. It was also covered in years of dirt and grime just like the rest of the engine, and did not appear to have ever been removed.

    New Randd idi pump installed, new starter, batteries, and cables. Bled the lines. Getting fuel to injectors. Fuel returning from ip into a bottle. Hit the glow plugs for the 12 sec after having the block heater on for a couple hours. Still can't get it to start. $2000 worth of parts and still...

    Looks great towcat. That is one of my favorite shade on 60 -70s model trucks. Type4 Yep I have been trying to run it out of a 5gal can with fresh diesel. the tanks will be flushed and cleaned before they are hooked up. Thanks for the concern.

    Really? I love that color. I will own these two and eventually a idi swapped 67-73 highboy. Good lord willing, I probably won't buy any other personal vehicles for most of my life. You can afford anything you really want to.

    Got ahold of my battery cables and starter yesterday. I haven't had the time to mess with it though and my randd injection pump just shipped. Will probably wait and install them all together. P.s. I have started using a new (to me) style of battery cable ends on everything I own and highly...
